Let’s keep it simple. Starch equals energy. But birds — especially young chicks — don’t produce enough of their own amylase early in life. Without it, large amounts of starch go undigested, and valuable feed energy is lost. That’s where enzyme supplementation plays a role. When amylase is added to feed, it helps break starch down into glucose, a form birds can immediately absorb and use. In high-starch diets, this single addition significantly boosts energy uptake. Enzyme groups that include amylase , carbohydrases , and fibre-degrading enzymes work together to ensure birds extract more nutrition from every bite — especially when feeds are based on grains like wheat, corn, or sorghum.

It breaks down complex starch molecules into smaller, more digestible sugar...
